This page contains news, event information, and other items added by Ian and Adam, the resident farmers at Old 99. We send out a message every week, but most are set with a delete date about two weeks later. I archive some of the posts if they have content other than weekly availability of produce and meat.
You can send me questions too, which if they are of a general nature, I can post to this Old99 blog.
Years of Living Dangerously, and WA Price chapters, Apr 6 2014

I’m going to lead off with cilantro… how many ways can you use it? I have a lovely crop right now, but it won’t last long as the days warm up in the greenhouse. Chop it up as a garnish on pasta, potatoes, soups, make into tabouli, add to salads, puree in smoothies.
How many of you saw anything in the news about the recent release of the IPCC5 report on climate change? Did you notice like I did a lack of coverage?

is about a related release: this time prime time movie/tv series called Years of Living Dangerously.
In a front-page New York Times story David Nevins, Showtime’s president of entertainment — the architect of hits like Homeland and Masters of Sex — explained that he puts a show like “Years of Living Dangerously” on Sunday night “because I want to signal to the audience: This show matters. This is a big show.”
“Years Of Living Dangerously” is going to be a very big show. It premieres Sunday on Showtime, April 13 at 10PM EDT/PDT.
Showtime has posted online the entire video of Episode 1 of its visually and emotionally gripping documentary series event, “Years of Living Dangerously.” The landmark 9-part series is produced by the legendary James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Jerry Weintraub — together with former 60 Minutes producers who have 18 Emmys between them.
James Cameron himself said, “This is 100 percent a people story.” And to tell these powerful stories, the series engaged top-flight journalists (like Chris Hayes and Friedman) and some of Hollywood’s biggest stars (like Matt Damon, Jessica Alba, Ian Somerholder, and Harrison Ford).
Maybe that will get more people to wake up about the current serious relevance of man-made climate change. “If we are to have any hope of averting the worst effects of climate change, we must fashion a 12-step program for universal carbon renunciation and impose penalties on those who aid and abet our continuing addiction.”

Finally, how many of my readers are members of the local chapter of Weston A Price Foundation? www.westonaprice.org I’d like to know because I’m having a rush of ideas about speaker events and such for us all. We’re the leading edge food-conscious eaters, mostly with young families. Just pop me a reply, would you please if you are. Ontario has these chapters
